SEGA Talk #183: Hideki Sato (1950-2026)

by

Most designers build consoles with silicon and plastic. Hideki Sato built them with pure audacity. From cold-calling manufacturers to demand a 90% discount on the Genesis CPU, to navigating the “Octopus” architecture of the Saturn and the heartbreak of the Dreamcast exit, Sato was the ultimate survivor. This week on Sega Talk, We dive deep into the technical genius and corporate defiance of the man who refused to let SEGA become a footnote in history. We’re talking “Blast Processing,” last-minute hardware wars, and the secret “Hakone Compromise” that changed the Saturn forever.
